In Honor of Berenice Abbott
Berenice Abbott was a photographer of great accomplishment. Known mostly for her documentary work of New York City in the 1930s, Berenice was also a portrait photographer, an educator, an inventor, and a writer. She believed that all photographers should have personal projects that they are passionate about, no matter what the subject matter. This award is in her honor. It is meant for someone who has completed a body of work, whether that is a special project or a portfolio of your best work. (Berenice was a master printer. This contest is also in honor of beautifully printed work.)
